We are looking to hire instructors for tandem jumps next year.. Apart from the travelling costs which we will cover... Can you please guide me on what a decent rate is payable, and if its per jump or per hour.

Also, what the rate would be if the instructor has his own tandem gear.

For all: please keep the conversation pointed at the OP's specific question (which is fine in this forum). Please use PMs for conversations about actual employment so we can respect the "no advertising" rule.

I dont know where malta is but if you're paying for the trip and it's warm there and cold here when you're doing it, I'll do it for free. Just give me an extra couple days there and let me keep whatever handcam money I can make and I'll bring my rig and you won't even have to pay me for jumping.

Was there in 1995, what a hot rock in August Nice sights, we liked Valetta and the festivals in the villages that were held at that time.

As for your skydiving venture: Piifish's advice is really good - just check with the PINK folks who organised boogies in a lot of regions in Europe and also in Africa (including Gambia) - if anyone near you can do, they are the ones to ask and rely on.
